Originally from Chicago but now based in Los Angeles, singer/songwriter Fiona Grey has just unveiled the video for her heartfelt and emotional pop ballad entitled "Girls Like Me" taken from her 2018 EP, Cult Classic, which also includes other memorable pop gems such as "Money", "Dirty Dream" and our personal favorite, "Media Queen" . Directed by Noah Miller and produced by Valerie Thurson, the video for "Girls Like Me" expresses the importance of revealing all your different sides to one another, whether it’s your vulnerable side or something you don’t always wish to share.
Drawing inspiration from the world of Hollywood, it's unrealistic expectations and the vices that people use as a form of escapism, Grey hopes that her music will help listeners aim to be the most pure and honest versions of themselves. "There is a lot about living in a pop culture centered world that we deem as ‘normal behavior’. I hope that the music can remind the listener that this follower-centric, alternate persona universe we live in is all temporary happiness,” shares Grey, who is known for her dynamic glittery performances.
Produced by Grammy award-winning Mike Schuppan (Paramore, M83, Ziggy Marley) and mastered by Dave Cooley (Fitz & The Tantrums, Stone Temple Pilots), Grey's Cult Classic EP is packed with powerful storytelling and imaginative visuals. Grey admits, "Each song has its own identity and story it wants to tell". Sonically the EP is built around organic instrumentation, fusing modern electronic soundscapes while ensuring that the production doesn't take away from the honesty of the music. Featuring string arrangements, full choirs and authentic instruments, the release delivers listeners with a dynamic and dimensional experience. Having been described by Galore Magazine as "bringing Hollywood glamour to a sultry story of love, drugs and vanity" and adding theatrical elements, Grey is essentially the Elizabeth Taylor of the modern pop music industry.
